NBH Dried Bean Curd Sticks (200g / 自然之源元枝腐竹) is a premium, nutrient-dense pantry staple made from the creamy skin that forms on top of pure, simmering soybean milk. Known traditionally in Chinese cuisine as Fu Zhu or "tofu bamboo," these sheets are carefully gathered, rolled into rigid stick formations, and thoroughly dried to seal in flavour and longevity.

Satisfyingly Chewy Texture: Once properly rehydrated, these sticks deliver a remarkably supple, meaty, and robust chew.
Ultra-High Plant Protein: Contains an impressive 40g of protein per 100g serving, making it a powerful meat alternative for vegan and vegetarian diets.
Mild & Savoury Carrier: Possesses a faint, naturally sweet soy profile that absorbs the full depth of surrounding broths without altering them.
100% Vegan & Dairy-Free: Crafted strictly from clean beans and water, free from fillers or animal derivatives.

Country Of Origin	China
How to use?	Because they are completely dehydrated to preserve shelf safety, these sticks must be rehydrated before cooking. Snap the dry sticks into 2-inch or 3-inch segments. Submerge them completely in a bowl of room-temperature or lukewarm water. Soak for 4 to 6 hours until they turn completely soft, pale yellow, and supple with no hard white core remaining in the center. Quick Method: If you are short on time, soak them in hot water with a lid covered for 30–60 minutes, though room-temperature soaking yields the best elastic bite. Culinary Uses: Hot Pots & Stews: Break into segments and simmer directly in fiery Mala hot pots or comforting clay-pot stews where the folds trap savoury oils. Cantonese Braised Dishes: A foundational partner for traditional Braised Pork Belly or Braised Duck, locking in sweet soy glaze. Spicy Garlic Cold Salad: After rehydrating, cut into bite-sized lengths and toss with chili oil, black vinegar, sesame paste, and minced fresh garlic. Vegetarian Stir-Fries: Toss vigorously over high wok heat with wood ear mushrooms, snap peas, and light soy sauce
ingredients	Soybeans, Water, Preservative: Sodium Metabisulfite (E222).

Preparation & Storage

Can I soak bean curd sticks overnight?
Yes, but only under safe conditions. If soaking for more than 4 hours or overnight, always place the bowl inside the refrigerator. Leaving soy products soaking on open kitchen counters overnight can rapidly foster harmful bacteria growth, souring the water.
Why do some sticks fall apart or dissolve when boiled?
This happens if you rehydrate them using boiling water or soak them for too long, which breaks down the fragile plant fibre structure. For a firm, al dente bite, stick to a room-temperature water soak and add them to hot pots during the final stages of cooking.
How should I store unused dry sticks?
Keep the unsoaked sticks inside their original plastic wrapper or a sealed zip-top bag inside a cool, dry pantry. Guard them strictly against humidity and kitchen steam to prevent moulding.

Health & Sourcing

Are these bean curd sticks gluten-free?
Yes, they are naturally made entirely from soybeans and water. However, ensure you verify your specific batch label if you have severe celiac triggers, as shared packaging plants can handle wheat goods.
Are bean curd sticks easy to digest?
Because they are exceptionally high in concentrated soy proteins, they require thorough rehydration and cooking. Elderly individuals, young children, or anyone prone to sluggish digestion should chew them thoroughly and avoid eating large portions at once to bypass bloating.
